Sometime far in the future…In the dark, decrepit hell-hole once known as the Halolz Mafia Forums sat overlord Shawn Handyside.Shawn was bored. Making the remaining Halolzians’ lives a living hell was fun for a while, but it had long since lost its luster. Nobody ever wanted to join his Mafia games… not since the incident that ended up banning most of the original players. What he wouldn’t give to pummel them into the ground with the banhammer again…Wait a minute! An evil grin spread across Shawn’s face. “Trunks!” he called.His right hand man teleported to his side in an instant. “You rang?”The overlord’s grin grew. “I have a message I want to send out. Take it for me.”“Yes sir!”

*MEANWHILE, IN MEXICO*DA opened his email, expecting to see the regular junk mail and penis extension ads. He did a double take at what he instead found waiting for him: a message from the Halolz Mafia Forums. “What the hell?” Now intrigued, he opened it.

Dear DA:I’ve grown bored. Torturing the poor souls that weren’t caught up in the updraft last time has grown tiresome. Just to spice things up a bit, I decided to invite you and the other banned players back for another game. And as motivation, the forums are once again up for grabs. Beat me this time, and you can have them back.Don’t disappoint me. Come on back and play…Love, Shawn

DA’s heart skipped a beat. Shawn was actually challenging him again? It had been so long since he last played, and now his precious forums were once again on the line. No way was he passing this up! He hit the reply button and typed his short reply:

You’re on.

Yes, that's right, folks! The direct sequel to Stalin's Halolz mafia! We will be going by abstain rules, for old-times' sake (but please don't abuse poor abstain; he didn't do anything to you)! Signups are open; they close Monday, April 29 at 9:00 PM CDT.

ALSO: in this round, there will be a tree stump variation. That is, in this case, those who are tree stumps are STILL allowed to post until the cause of their stumping is killed (in which case, they receive one post-mortem post as per the norm). However, in this case, they are not allowed to speak of the game to sway the odds in the favor of one side or the other. Commentary only, please.
